 h  = hammer on
( ) = ghost note

[Verse 1]
         
Blame it all o

n my roots
  
I showed up in

 boots
    
And ruined you

r black tie af

fair
    
The last one t

o know
    
The last one t

o show
          
I was the last

 one you thoug

ht you'd see t

here
      
And I saw the 

surprise
        
And the fear i

n his eyes
            
When I took hi

              
s glass of cha

 
mpagne

I toasted you
            
Said honey, we

 may be throug

h
             
But you'll nev

              
er hear me com

 
plain

[Chorus]
       
'Cause I got f

riends in low 

places
          
Where the whis

key drowns and

 the beer chas

es
    
My blues away
         
And I'll be ok

ay

I'm not big on

 social graces
             
Think I'll sli

              
p on down to t

   
he oasis
            
Oh, I've got f

      
riends
        
In low places

[Verse 2]
        
Well, I guess 

I was wrong
  
I just don't b

elong
    
But then, I've

 been there be

fore
     
Everything's a

lright
     
I'll just say 

goodnight
         
And I'll show 

myself to the 

door
     
Hey, I didn't 

mean
   
To cause a big

 scene
            
Just give me a

           
n hour and the

n
      
Well, I'll be 

as high as tha

t

Ivory tower
             
  That you're 

       
livin' in

[Chorus]
       
'Cause I got f

riends in low 

places
          
Where the whis

key drowns and

 the beer chas

es
    
My blues away
         
And I'll be ok

[Verse 3]
  
I guess I was 

wrong
  
I just don't b

elong
    
But then, I've

 been there be

fore
         
And everything

's alright
     
I'll just say 

goodnight
         
And I'll show 

myself to the 

door

I didn't mean
   
To cause a big

 scene
            
Just wait 'til

              
 I finish this

 
 glass
     
Then sweet lit

tle lady
          
I'll head back

 to the bar

And you can
        
Kiss my ass!

[Chorus]
       
'Cause I got f

riends in low 

places
          
Where the whis
